Hello,

How do I add a unit that normal Player cannot see or pick but Admin can?.
(just like HC)

And how to add Arsenal for West faction only! (restricted arsenal).??

PS: I wish to be able to just put in the init.

Hey lads!

Got a kind of odd question, My group are looking to set up our own persistent missions like Invade and Annex or Liberation but with an actually story and stuff. I was thinking of using Alive for the persistence and such however we'd like to have a money system aswell, to allow us to have most of the good gear and vehicles need to be brought. I was wondering what systems their are out their that allow money systems like the Life servers use?

Cheers!

Hi everyone. Need a little help again:
I want to host a zeus mission withy buddy. So i created two zeus virtual entities.
Placed game master module, set owner to variable name z1, addons on all and inofficial ones.
After I placed the virtual entitie with the.variable name z1 and sync both together.
Then I repeated the same with the variable name z2.
So I get two zeus slots but when we join our server, only I was able to jump into zeus. Anyone got an idea why? Is it a problem with the server?

Second question as a virtual entitie zeis you are able to set the frequencies of the short and long range radio to listen to it. How can I send traffic withouth jumping into a character? The buttons I usual use to radio doensnt work...

@dusky lodge maybe it is because you synced both. Try without sycing them.

I synced the first game master module with the first virtual identitie and then the second game master modul with the second virtual identitie.
I'll try your suggestion @dense grove. Thanks for that

dusky lodge Jul 14, 2019, 8:42 AM

#

@umbral fiber
Mh...I use the get in waypoint command as well. Always worked for me. Are you flying the heli yourself or the ai? For an ai flight I normally use the 'get in' command and then for gettin out I use the transport unload command of the heli waypoint.

#

Sorry I can't help

#

Do you use the load transport command in the heliwaypoint?

#

Or only load? I'm not sure at the moment

#

load command heli and get in command of the soldiers

#

Maybe that'll work

vapid rivet Jul 14, 2019, 8:52 AM

Can you set a respawn timer longer that 1 hour via the description.ext?

#

Anything over an hour seems to disable respawn

#

Scratch that, seems to display as No respawn but after waiting until the time gets below 1 hour, it appears to continue the countdown

just preliminary test, goal is to set full realistic reproducing - 18years. Arma is about realism after all /s

umbral fiber Jul 14, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

@dusky lodge im flying the heli myself

dusky lodge Jul 14, 2019, 9:43 AM

#

@umbral fiber
Maybe it will work with a radio command. Place a move waypoint near the LZ of the heli for the soldiers. Placa a trigger with the activation radio alpha and then the waypoint get in vehicle or something like that. So if you activate the move waypoint with the radio alpha code the soldiers will move to the next waypoint, the get in waypoint.

#

And hopefully they will enter the next available vehicle, your heli

@bold vortex We have a large milsim community and we run long running missions (LRM's) once every few months using ALiVE and other mods. Similar to Anti Stasi but more Objective and Story driven with only Players going up an AI Force. Had an issue last time with our latest influx of people taking weapons and running off by themselves and dying so I wanted to try an stop that incentive by having death be an 8 hour wait

bold vortex Jul 14, 2019, 10:41 AM

that seems like a really poor method of discouraging people not acting in teams

vapid rivet Jul 14, 2019, 10:54 AM

#

Theirs also a rules thing people need to read and sign off on before being able to access the server. Most are 18 plus its usually just 1 or 2 people who try and ruin it for the others

Been doing them since ArmA 2 however ALiVE makes things so much fkn easier

Command has ordered us (MP) to go bring back Squad Bravo 31. They were on patrol last night me and the guys are having a bet if they are either passed out drunk or the idiots broke the damn truck again and trying to fix it themselves before morning reports go in. As we approached there last reported area we seen a ploom of smoke just past the turn above the trees. We did not expect to find what we did or what was left. After examining the bodies we found multiple stab wounds one of them straight to the face others were either missing an arms or legs. Next to the smoldering truck we found what we think is the skeleton of the driver still hot to the touch. We compiled evidence that the reason for the vehicle on fire was due to an explosion from the inside caused by the driver due to him no longer having a right hand and forearm. As we searched around all we could find was blood bullet casings and empty mags. Also some very strange prints leading from and towards the tree line to the north. After radioing command our findings we are told to meet with a local farmer about an entire herd of cattle being mutilated. What is going on?

#

Thats basically what Im planning on doing with my first mission on zeus with the Star Ship Troopers mod

woeful magnet Jul 16, 2019, 9:47 AM

#

I'd trim some of the details about the investigation and such. Save that for in-mission intel.

#

But other than that the plot seems interesting enough.

#

VERY new to arma how does one do this

cinder holly Jul 16, 2019, 1:42 PM

#

in your mission:

create your object to examine, name it myObject (for example)
create an init.sqf file in your mission directory, and in it write sqf [myObject, nil, "This is the text that will be displayed!"] call BIS_fnc_initInspectable;

#

this should add the object an action to examine it and simply show the wanted text @sleek flicker

@wooden garnet untick AI box in the server's AI management UI, or make a script if (not isPlayer _x) then { deleteVehicle _x }; ?

@sharp cargo hide/show is acting on 3D "visibility", so it doesn't make sense to "hide" it. If you mean activating it or not, you could use in the On Act field myBooleanCondition && this

cinder holly Jul 17, 2019, 1:16 PM

@cinder holly that would be in the marker init or a trigger?

cinder holly Jul 17, 2019, 1:21 PM

in a script.

@sly lake in a (one-time) trigger the "On Act" field could be:

I would personally suggest implementing TFAR. While there is no way to stop a, say, rifleman from tuning in to platoon net its far easier to control. Additionally its a lot harder for a player to key up not realizing they are on the command channel.

@dull wigeon yeah that's what I was telling @jolly nest . Its sort of like vehicle restrictions. There's really not a definitive way to make it impossible for a rifleman to get in a helo pilot's seat. Its just a matter of them understanding and respecting that they aren't supposed to do that to maintain everyone's fun.

It's weird, no matter what I try I just can't get anything to work :/

cinder holly Jul 21, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

if you create a driver and moveInDriver, then do the same for gunner / moveInGunner, only the gunner gets in

#

if you disassemble/reassemble it, it will again be BLUFOR 😄

#

@stray bone , I got it

#

private _uav = createVehicle ["B_UAV_01_F", getPosATL player, [], 0, "NONE"];
createVehicleCrew _uav;
private _group = createGroup opfor;
[driver _uav, gunner _uav] joinSilent _group;```

#

after that, I don't know if they will try to attack OPFOR or BLUFOR by themselves 😄

#

it attacks BLUFOR, yay!

#

just don't disassemble it :D
I once had that in the APEX campaign, I hacked a turret, then disassembled it, reassembled it to a more suitable position… and got shot

Hey, I've been trying to think of a rough year of independence for Altis and i found that the offical lore was very vague saying on the wiki:

"With the Cold War approaching its end, so too did the decline of the British Empire.

As Britain's hold over its colonies began to slip, Altis was no exception and eventually gained its independence from the Empire sometime prior to the beginning of the 21st century. Officially reformed into the Republic of Altis and Stratis, the newfound nation was soon accepted as a member of European Union."

Which is pretty broad IMO

Just wondered what other people thought

(The basic idea's that I had were:

60's (Malta and Cyprus gain independence, but that seems to early to fit the end of the cold war)
or
80's (Canada and other major British colonies become independent, which fit's the end of the cold war more closely)
)

#

TL;DR:
When do you think Altis became independent? my thoughts are either 60's or 80's

Heya so i've just started a server, trying to make it into a community with a few friends, i'm wondering if someone could dm me a link to how to set up mission files? We will be a zues server, so i just want it to set map, have the option to just join blufor, and save any mod presets, like ace medical etc.
I tried saving it from editor, however it's a bunch of random numbers that make no sense to me, though i have a relatively large coding knowledge, rather than something that i can mess about with to achieve the goal

#

I'm unfortunately the only person that is starting the server with any kind of knowledge about servers and computing, so i'm having to do a bunch of work to set it up without much assistance, my head hurts XD

//Enable all movements
player enableSimulation true;

Hey there. I was wondering if anyone here ever helped create "JGGaming's Takistan Life" from Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. It was a gamemode/server that I spent a lot of time in and really enjoyed. I made a bunch of lifelong friends in it.

I am currently in the process of recreating it in Arma 3. Mainly just the borders of the OPFOR, INDEP, BLUFOR and CIV territories and a few key buildings. Mainly to run zeus missions in and whatnot. But I digress, I am trying to find a picture of the original map from about 6-7 years ago or someone who helped work on it. Or just someone who also played on it and might have a video that they posted or whatnot.

Cheers in advance, I know it's a long stretch I believe the community dissolved 3 years ago.

I've placed a few Tracers modules in my mission. While they work and fire correctly in local multiplayer, they don't seem to do anything on a server.

There's no scripting involved to cause locality issues, and according to the only thread I found about this, they are tested and working in multiplayer. So I'm confused as to what I need to do.

If you had read the welcome text you get on your first boot up with contct enabled (atleast i got it) you'd know that the optional part (that you launch arma with when clicking that button) is not necessarily compatible with the vanilla and/or the modded sandbox (aka arma)

I can confirm that it is not added to the armaserver's keys folder by default though

So I guess you upload it from your client

grim hearth Aug 6, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

No... now I think about it the enoch files are signed against the a3 key... so maybe that was a beta thing. The only key you should need is the a3.bikey. What's the exact error you get when trying to connect

#

For example, air_f_enoch.ebo.a3.bisign

there is a reason why models etc are packed into properly built and binarized p3d

it still has to be binarized runtime for the game and the initialization of the model is not as fast

might be that

Guys, I'm making a 'man a roadblock' secondary mission, where players have to man a premade (at a semi random pos) roadblock. Some of the encounters are civ or friendly and players are supposed to allow them thru the RB. The Independents are enemy and they come in many flavours, in bus, truck, car, sometimes overtly enemy, sometimes in disguise.
The vec drives to a 'pause point' a few meters from the RB and wait for the gates to open.
I want suggestions for how the enemy AI would behave on arriving at the RB. So far I have it where they wait at the pause point in a non combat mode, if the gate open they drive through. this is a mission fail. If players get close or shoot, the AI bail and go weapons free. Sometimes they detonate a suicide bomb.
I've not coded them yet but other planned behaviours include doing a panic U turn at the pause point and driving away, players are supposed to stop them escaping. Sometimes the'yy try to go around the RB, again players are expected to engage and stop them. Another behaviour is they try to ram the RB gates. Another is where enemy get to pause, bail and engage.

#

What other enemy behaviours might the enemy do on encoutering the rb?

#

heres a pic of the RB, btw. The gates are sync to each other.. opening one auto opens the other..

azure wraith Aug 11, 2019, 4:12 PM

#

Best way to learn is to make a simple mission, and then add a couple of advanced elements on the side to spice things up

#

Like for example having a city assault, but if players destroy a radiotower before enemies are alerted they won't call for reinforcements.

#

Simple end conditions, briefings and debriefings

AI: Mhm

uh... question: in the mission.sqm file all items are represented as classes. After a git merge, some IDs appear twice. What's the best way to deal with that?

sinful rampart Aug 12, 2019, 12:11 PM

fix up the IDs manually

its transparant grey from one side and from other side u can see straight through

Based on the path I assume the image is in the mission folder. In that case use the local command setObjectTexture.

Hello all. On Tanoa there is a large green hanger at Aeroport de Tanoa. Is there a way to spawn this in the editor? I cannot find it in the object list.

the white one?

The very large pale green one with catwalks inside. There is only one. I think its the largest vanilla hanger.

hmmm yeah you're right i can't find it

is 2 parts as you can see

signal coral Aug 12, 2019, 9:10 PM

the question is how to rotate it safely? i think one would need to attachIt to something like an invisible helipad

cinder holly Aug 12, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

that or attach one to another? and only rotate the left part for example

#

btw I confirm your 31.4 😉

in VR

"Land_Airport_02_hangar_left_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
"Land_Airport_02_hangar_right_F" createVehicle [31.4,0,0];```

wooden garnet Aug 13, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

question: can you use createTrigger with getPos referencing a dead AI soldier?

#

like, you kill an enemy target...and intel wants you to verify the body...so you have to walk into a small trigger radius created at the dead body's position

#

can you do that?

stable sinew Aug 13, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

Would it not be easier to just add an action to the body to verify it?

#

Would be a cool use of a hold action or something along those lines.

#

id love to do whichever is easier 😛

and yeah, a hold action of some kind, but im not sure how to set that up

cinder holly Aug 13, 2019, 9:11 AM

That's… crossposting.
Also, @wraith cloud already answered you, there is an in-editor tutorial you can find in the menu. Also, depending on what you are looking for there are plenty of Youtube tutorials adapted to your needs

lusty ivy Aug 13, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

and if you kept reading you'd see that the tutorial is for Zeus not the editor and it wasn't helpful and that every tutorial I found was from 2013 and outdated. He stated he doesn't know anything else and that he can't help beyond that so I said thank you for that and I'll ask in a different channel... If that's crossposting then what should I do?

fast copper Aug 13, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

@lusty ivy just explore with the editor, that's what I did.

#

everything is labelled

lusty ivy Aug 13, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

So people told me to do that, but I spent 3 hours looking for an ammo box and couldn't find anything

fast copper Aug 13, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

You can search "ammo" in the search box above the objects panel

#

Or "supply"

lusty ivy Aug 13, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

I typed ammo and all I get is, supply, arsenal etc and all I get is characters for ammunition

#

I tired crates etc

#

nothing comes up

fast copper Aug 13, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

and then if you really don't know something, someone could help you out in #arma3_editor with a specific issue

#

are you using vanilla

lusty ivy Aug 13, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

Yes, but I tried it with the Aries mod as well

#

Right now all I want to know is how to make objectives (with flavor text) and ammo boxes

#

That's it

fast copper Aug 13, 2019, 9:30 AM

#

I don't think there is an ammo box in vanilla, but you can use the arsenal as a virtual ammo box.

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Arsenal#Virtual_Ammo_Box

#

You can make it so that players can only take items of what you allow them to - ammo.

lusty ivy Aug 13, 2019, 9:32 AM

#

Thank you, that will at least get me start

#

I'll ask in #arma3_editor on how to make objectives and flavor text then

fast copper Aug 13, 2019, 9:33 AM

No bother.
You may need to play around with the height check for different vehicles / objects. Adding a third param is easy enough though.

The parachute likes to freakout a little when detached.
You can use setDamage after detach but it dissapears once it hits the ground.

hey, so i'm trying to make a ravage mission and would like the player to have the option to respawn at a random location (the game picks one of the markers at random and respawns them there) or to respawn at a placed sleeping bag, is this possible for a multiplayer mission? (i don't want the players to be able to respawn together by looking at the names and going to the same one as each other)

#

https://imgur.com/26GGhXl here's what i've got so far, but this shows of the location names after a death in the respawn menu

like instead of this: https://imgur.com/YWhZycb
something more like this: https://imgur.com/xP594CQ

azure wraith Aug 15, 2019, 10:18 AM

#

@neon sigil one solution would be to place a respawn point within a trigger area, with the condition

player inArea _thisTrigger

and in activation

player setPos getMarkerPos selectRandom ["markername_1","markername_2","etc"]

and set it as Repeatable.

Probably not the most elegant solution, but should work.

Placing objects.

I don't have nearly the talent necessary to make maps from whole fabric.

scenic shard Aug 16, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

@woeful magnet may or may not be relevant... helipad markers are 'ground decals' and conform to the shape of the land, so when you put other objects, like concrete, they always get obscured

woeful magnet Aug 16, 2019, 8:26 PM

#

Aren't runways also technically ground decals? @scenic shard

scenic shard Aug 16, 2019, 8:26 PM

#

no, they are roadobjects

#

https://puu.sh/E61eD/16faf65d3a.png

#

see picture of helipad placed on ground

#

note that you cannot raise their elevation to bring them up off the ground

#

you might want to try the VR object helpers... VR_Area_01_circle_4_yellow_F etc

#

they don't 'conform' to ground contours and can be lifted clear of the terrain, but unless the underlying ground is flat, they begin to look a bit wierd

#

for example

cinder holly Aug 16, 2019, 11:04 PM

you can let the normal AI do its job then.
as for the script itself, sqf not alive unitToKill is a good starting point

Alright. I am gonna have to give a lot of units flashlights and take away their NVG

#

are the enemies OPFOR?

#

{ _x unlinkItem hmd _x ; _x add PrimaryWeaponItem "acc_flashlight" } forEach (allUnits select { side _x == opfor });```
This script set in the initServer.sqf will remove NVGs and add flashlights to all opfor units

cedar bronze Aug 16, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Is that a server setting or a mission setting?

cinder holly Aug 16, 2019, 11:11 PM

cinder holly Aug 16, 2019, 11:12 PM

in your mission directory, create a new file initServer.sqf, copy-paste the code in it, save et voilà

cedar bronze Aug 16, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

Alright, thank you

#

Will the effects show up when I am testing the mission, or does the file only take effect when actually playing?

jagged meteor Aug 16, 2019, 11:19 PM

#

Init scripts are launched every time you launch the mission.

#

This particular init file you created only runs on the server, but in SP (or Eden) your PC should be seen as the server, so...

I have a 2-4 player coop mission that hasn't been played much

#

not much replayability

#

but i think it's decent

#

also anyone know the difference between moduleanimals_f and site_ambient?

hexed crown Aug 18, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

Ambient Civilian Module. I have knowledge how it works, but what am I missing so it shuts off when players are no longer in the village? Trigger? scipt? Line in which module?

I used a trigger for players present to start the module, using debug, that works, but after leaving the area I can see it stil respawning civilians who go to waypoints and then the cycle repeats. I'd like the module to not activate if playser aren't present

#

through the BI wiki I see this, but those aren't available from what I can see?

ALICE_forcePopulation = <boolean>; - set to true if you want to populate town even without players' presence.

    Example: BIS_loc_acityc_kozlovka setvariable ["ALICE_forcePopulation",true];
    Default value: false

What am I missing? Or where would I place that line?

cinder holly Aug 18, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

@hexed crown from what I know, ALICE was the Arma 2 system

hexed crown Aug 18, 2019, 4:15 PM

#

Ok, I see that now, thanks for that tip. Still trying to figure out how to shut off the AI civilians from respawning in the town after a player has left. I know I am well outside the city limit of the civs, watching through zeus and I can see them still respawning

#

Ok, I've found this

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Civilian_Presence

Now, I used a trigger to activate it, but I'm brain farting how I set a trigger to shut off the CP Module

#

And I have the box marked "Is Terminal" and I can se the AI being deleted, but then they respawn to keep the city populated

cinder holly Aug 18, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

- Automatically avoids spawning and despawning of units in player's vicinity, especially if the position is in direct line of sight.

hexed crown Aug 18, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

Think I figured it out. In the trigger, any player present, repeatable, but check "timeout" in the trigger timer and leave them all at 0 for min/mid/max.

My only issue I see now is the second time I entered the city not as many civs spawned, but it did shut off and not have civs there when I was outside the city and trigger area,

So solved, I guess

cinder holly Aug 18, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

So it seems! And yes, I think the amount of civilians is randomised, too

hexed crown Aug 18, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

@cinder holly I guess I wasn't clear. When player present I want the CP module to activate, when a player not present there is no reason for the CP module to respawn, despawn, respawn civs over and over

cinder holly Aug 18, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

Yes…?

hexed crown Aug 18, 2019, 5:02 PM

@cinder holly Thanks for the help, your comments lead me down the right path, I was too focused on why I couldn't find the answer in teh wrong area

cinder holly Aug 18, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

I meant every time the player comes back, another wave of civilians is spawned, and not especially the same as before, and not especially the same quantity.
Anyway ,glad you had it sorted out!

I have a concern re: the camera movement in Zeus versus the 3Den Editor (though I'm unsure if this is the correct thread/forum):

I would prefer the Zeus camera movement to be "unlocked" from the terrain - like in the 3Den editor, but I cannot figure out how to make them function the same way.

BTW, I have mapped all my camera controls (3Den, and Zeus) to analog my inputs:
-my TrackIR controls "aiming"/turning,
-my joystick controls WASD movement, and
-my rudder pedals control vertical movement - all in analog.

I set it up this way to afford silky smooth camera shots, and I find it less jarring to a viewer than WASD (digital) inputs.

When I'm flying around the map in 3Den, the underlying terrain does not really affect vertical movement of the viewer's camera, and I can drag/drop units with relative ease and accuracy.

However, this smoothness stops when in Zeus. I try to place objects on higher buildings in Zeus where the underlying terrain is not flat, it really degrades placement accuracy, since the Zeus camera wants to keep a constant altitude above ground level (unlike 3Den). The result is jerky vertical camera movements.

Anyone know of a fix?

Looking at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/flyInHeight it is mentioned that From 1.80 flyInHeight now affects not only helicopters, but also planes. It might be so that flyInHeightASL hasn't received this upgrade. @sharp inlet

#

Also, mentioned in description of flyInHeightASL, Final height is max(flyInHeight, flyInHeightASL).

It doesn't work for the pawnee, either

cinder holly Aug 19, 2019, 11:48 AM

Is the terrain higher than 200m ASL?

also, default flyInHeight is 50m iirc. If you flyInHeightASL at 200 on a 180m terrain, it will fly to 230m ASL (50m ATL)
